Posted January 25, 20169 yr After getting the itch I purchased another set (sans minifigs) to continue with my Takodana build. This MOC is currently using 3 full sets and 1/2 of a 4th. I also decided to incorporate a few non-75139 pieces but nothing major except for the stairs. I also plan on continuing to build the cantina once the parts come in. I guess you can call this a WIP. Hope you enjoy! 1 x full set = $50 3 x parts sets = $65 2 x large base plates = $16 Misc pieces = free
January 25, 20169 yr That's... surprisingly accurate with "only" spare sets used, considering how limited the official set is. Nice work!
January 25, 20169 yr Yeah definitely amazing, only thing I'd do differently is add more green for the Kylo and Rey scene. Like this is what the set should have been more like. This doc has all the moments in it that it's impressive. Again great job man!
January 25, 20169 yr Oh wow, this is great. If I'm lucky enough to come across a bunch of this set at clearance I would now buy 4 of them to make something like this. Really fantastic job.
January 25, 20169 yr Nice work. Now this is getting interesting! It's amazing how much better the official set could of been, instead of a token vignette to sell the minifigs. The plus side is that so many people are buying it just for the minifigs and selling off the set. I just picked up another set minus minifigs to do a similar thing. I'll be using Jabba's palace too and some parts from Duel on Geonosis. Have you considered adding a Maz Kanata statue?
January 25, 20169 yr The front looks great, all it needs is a Maz Statue to finish it off. The back could use the addition of a Cantina before reaching the storage room. Maybe a few more flags of different colors could be hung above the door to avoid the drabness of only using the bacon flag. Other than that; this is coming along great! Can't wait to see the next update.
January 25, 20169 yr Oh my. :wub: This.... there are no words! I can only add to xboxtravis on his suggestion to add some other colored flags. Great model! It makes me happy that it's just a WIP, and we have future updates to look forward to! Edited January 25, 20169 yr by Junior Shark
January 25, 20169 yr Author Thanks everyone! It's becoming more and more pricey each week but I enjoy working on it. I'll need to find more flags somewhere. Maybe use some capes from the superhero line. Thanks for the advice :)
January 25, 20169 yr Wow great job on this moc! 3,5 Takodana sets make great moc Maz Kanata's castle, the only part your moc is missing is a bar. But other than that it's awesome! I especially like how you pulled off front entrance and dungeon scene from the movie.
January 26, 20169 yr Now that you broke your OCD rule you don't have any excuses for not having a Maz statue. I think you have to make one now. It'll be hard for that scale but I think it's doable. Awesome moc either way. Edited January 26, 20169 yr by jdm44
January 26, 20169 yr I'm in the middle of something like this - the gargoyle form the Monsters CMF is the basis of my Maz statue!
January 27, 20169 yr Author I'm in the middle of something like this - the gargoyle form the Monsters CMF is the basis of my Maz statue! That's actually what I'm searching for now. The problem is most of the US sellers on BL don't have some of the other parts I'm looking for. I'd hate to order the fig and pay shipping just for that alone :/
February 25, 20169 yr Right after I found this, I bought 2 more set of parts to replicate your version. Since I have total 3 sets, I will skip the dungeon part. I an highly anticipating the final version!! Keep up the good work!! Edited February 25, 20169 yr by eunchong84
